NAU = Not a University. Having entered as a MS grad student, I quickly found I had to re-write most of the project I was working on. The stats plan was wrong, the sampling poor, the goals too broad. I found I would really be working on a PhD, but getting an MS. My main faculty was available from 10-3 (normal working hours for most NAU faculty). So getting needed info was tough. I was expected to be working in the lab from 8-5 with no deviation. Classes were a joke - I got more from my BS degree. However the Stats classes from the math dept were excellent. Housing is very expensive and the community sees students as competition for resources -so they treat you as such. The forests were closed in the summer because of fire danger - so there was nothing to do. I acutally started watching Zena to pass the time - how sad is that!

THIS SCHOOL TOTALLY SUCKS AND IS A WASTE OF TIME. NOT ONLY IS IT IN THE WILDERNESS WITH NO FINANCE RELATED BUSINESS ANYWHERE IN SIGHT, NOT ONE INVESTMENT BANK OR EQUITY RESEARCH BOUTIQUE EVER VISITS HERE. THE FACULTY IS OLD AND THE CURRICULUM HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED SINCE 1995 - THAT ITSELF IS A LOSING PROPOSITION IN THIS EVER CHANGING BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT. GO THERE ONLY IF YOU WANT SOME LOSER JOB PAYING $35,000 ANNUALLY. FLAGSTAFF THOUGH IS GREAT.
